Turn all your sync intervals up to atleast an hour.

How do I verify if something is running in the back? Also, I normally just hit end button key when I am done with the app, how do I properly make sure it's back out of apps when done?

Also today, it freezed twice for me, and sometimes, it just stop working completly. Thanks!

thanks to you all that answered my previous questions, this build is working great for me on my tp2 but like 10mins ago someone left me a voice mail and the phone tells me this is a invalid input, then it says message 1 and the number from which it was sent, right after the audio for the message begins though xdandroid goes to sleep. has anyone else experienced this? also i am using Google voice but im not sure this would affect it i am also on kernel 3.2
Thanks,

Edit: ok figured out how to view the voicemail i just called my regular number and i go the options but the notification didnt go away

From Home screen, go to Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings > Voicemail number. Make sure the correct voicemail number is set.

I tried uninstalling Astro with titanium backup as I prefer other file managers, and after a reboot it shows back up. Not quite sure how this is happening. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get rid of it?
Thanks

edit- Never mind. I found the app's location

hm I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, thinking it's just my lack of android know how lol

But I can't seem to text people without using the area code to make the phone number 10 digits. I figured it would know that 7 digit numbers would be in the same area code as my own phone number but it isn't happening. Is there a place I can set area code?

oh a tip for battery life that I've been using from WM for people who want the new email notification, seems to be more effective in android since battery life is shorter. In gmail set your emails to be forwarded to your text message number then turn off the email sync. Set a bookmark to open gmail on your home screen so it acts like an "app". So now you can get new emails and read them from text message and open gmail to reply. So far I've found this to be more effective because it doesn't have to actively look for new emails (less battery use) and android doesn't seem to miss text messages as often as it hangs on data connection (probably sprint issue)

Freezes happen, for various reasons. Logs are always hard to catch from this too, but if you know a repeatable way to make it freeze, setup continuous logging and recreate the freeze. Hopefully something good will show up.

Android doesn't really close apps... it intelligently manages memory. With that said, not all apps are created intelligently, and can hog resources. This is the only time I would say a task killer app is needed - when something is misbehaving.

Could someone be kind and tell me where/what needs to be edited so I can try them out?
Thanks.

You're using EVERYTHING from the GBX0B build, right? startup.txt, HaRET.exe, etc? Nothing is reused from an old/outdated build?

Do you think we'll ever get Android 4.0 ICS ported to TP2, just a thought..

I was going to put 4.0 ICS on my HP Touchpad tablet..

ICS may work, but it'll never work well. It requires hardware acceleration, and ours doesn't work so great. It is an adreno130 after all, be happy you get GB!! This devices hardware is circa 2007...

Just make sure GPS is disabled and you don't have a ton of apps set to sync.

Just like you have to dial the full 10 digits, you should also text with the full 10 digits.

Don't you use an address book? lol.

Yes. I tried a new build from scratch.
I downloaded your package. Deleted the zImage and modules file. Dowloaded kernel-pack-htc-msm-3.2.2-g5a54c81-20120128_164614 (tried htc-msm-linux-2.6.35-20120127_222030-package.tar also), and extracted the two files (renamed zImage to match deleted file) to the root of the sd card along with your package. Added the AcousticRHOD400CSV's, and the unit hung with a kernel panic or just outright rebooted the phone respectively.

Did I miss something?

I don't know, you're on a TP2? RHOD400 from what I gather?

Assuming you have the startup.txt from this package and haret.exe from this package, and you're on a TP2 - should work great. The only other person having this problem was mixing and matching without telling me. So of course, it wouldn't work - he was using crap from an outdated build.

Sorry I should have been more specific. Yes. I have the sprint tp2 RHOD400.

Well, the good news is that it worked this time. I don't know why it was acting up before. I guess 3rd time is the charm.

Task killer? For misbehaving apps, uninstall works better.

EDIT: Battery life is generally fine for me, but it seems that it charges faster under XDAndroid. That's not possible, is it?
